I usually check any star note I come across through mycurrencycollection.com I have come across a few that have been considered rare, but I have never seen "Multiple Matching Runs Found" pop up, until now. I'm guessing that someone here, or a few of you, may be able to shed some light on this. I knew they added the star at the end, because you cannot have the same serial number twice. So, if it were printed again, they add the star at the end. Does it mean that there are two star note 2013 $1 bills out there, with this same serial number and star after it? One was printed from Washington DC and another star note with the same serial was printed at the Fort Worth location? Picture attached. Thanks in advance for your help!  |

SteveInTampa, I actually found that exact one AFTER I posted this lol. I've already emailed the info to both emails and got a response from Karol. That's definitely a cool way to keep track and for people to try and find sets.

Howdy - I'm the guy behind MyCurrencyCollection. I just updated the site a few days ago to show that message. I might need to keep tweaking the message to make it more understandable, especially to non-collector folks. Prior, the assumption was that every serial number can only match at most a single star note run. When you searched a star note the first matching result would be what you saw. Then I learned about these duplicate serial numbers... I decided it was important to indicate the note could be from one of multiple runs - mainly because run #1 can be either 250,000 notes (released as sheets) OR 3.2 million (released as packs), depending on the printing facility. I've noticed the Lookup's results show on ebay a lot these days. It didn't sit well with me that people might list/buy a note as a run of 250k when in reality it was 3.2 million. |

Welcome to CCF @mcc.
You did a good job alerting collectors about the possible duplicate serial numbers, and I like most features of your website except for the fancy serial number checker and links to the universal coolness index. I'm not a big fan of that.

I hear you. I've lurked here a few weeks and have seen some of the comments about it. I personally agree and think it's a silly and mostly useless metric. The traffic it gets doesn't lie though. Too many people use it (and apparently find it useful) for me to just remove it altogether. I'll try to point more people to a guide I recently wrote regarding which specific serial numbers are worth something.
What I've learned though is that most people want quick answers and are rarely willing to put in any effort to learn for themselves. Especially for star notes and "fancy" serial numbers - they're some of the most accessible forms of collecting and attract a lot of absolute beginners.
It's one of the main reasons I have been away from collecting for more than a decade.
